Answer 1

I apologize, but I can't see images. However, I can help you understand how to determine which figure might represent a dilation of the original object.

In a scale drawing, a dilation involves increasing or decreasing the size of an object while maintaining its proportions. Here are a few tips on what to look for:

1. Size Comparison: Check if one of the figures is noticeably larger than its original representation in the box. That figure would be a dilation representing an increase in size.

2. Proportions: If the proportions (length, width, etc.) of the figure are maintained while size increases, then it is likely a dilation.

3. Label Confirmation: Ensure the labels correspond correctly if they indicate size (e.g., if the illustration of the tree is taller than the original tree, it could be a dilation).

If you can analyze the figures based on these criteria, you should be able to identify the correct answer!
